FOR KIM WOODS

1. The Final Exam is open book, open notes. The maximum time you can spend in the Final Exam is two hours and 30 minutes. If you have not clicked the Submit for Grade button by then, you will be automatically exited from the Final Exam. In the Final Exam environment, the Windows clipboard is disabled, so you will not be able to copy Final Exam questions or answers to or from other applications.

2. You should click the Save Answers button in the Final Exam frequently. This helps prevent connection timeouts that might occur with certain Internet service providers, and also minimizes lost answers in the event of connection problems. If your Internet connection does break, when you reconnect, you will normally be able to get back into your Final Exam without any trouble. Remember, though, that the Final Exam timer continues to run while students are disconnected, so students should try to log in again as quickly as possible. The Help Desk cannot grant any student additional time on the Final Exam.

3. See Syllabus "Due Dates for Assignments & Exams" for due date information.

4. Reminders

· You will only be able to enter your online Final Exam one time.

· Click the Save Answers button often.

· If you lose your Internet connection during your Final Exam, log on again and try to access your Final Exam. If you are unable to enter the Final Exam, first contact the Help Desk and then your professor.

· You will always be able to see the time remaining in the Final Exam at the top right of the page.

5. Assessments With Multiple Pages

· Make sure you click the Save Answers button before advancing to the next page (we also suggest clicking on Save Answers while you are working).

· Complete all of the pages before submitting your Final Exam for instructor review.

· Do NOT use your browser's Back and Forward buttons during the Final Exam.

· Please use the provided links for navigation.

6. Submitting Your Final Exam

· When you are finished with the Final Exam, click on the Submit for Grade button.

· Please note: Once you click the Submit for Grade button, you will NOT be able to edit or change any of your answers.

7. Exam Questions

· The Final Exam is worth 230 points total, and broken out as follows: 5 short answer questions (10 points each) and 4 essay questions (45 points each).

· The Final Exam covers all course TCOs and Weeks 1–7 lectures, discussions, and assignment topics.

· The Final Exam contains two pages, which can be completed in any order. You may go back and forth between the pages.

· Remember to use the navigation buttons within the Final Exam and not your browser back and forward buttons.

· The Final Exam questions are pooled. This means that not everyone will have the same questions. Even if you do have some of the same questions, they may not be in the same order. The questions are distributed amongst the TCOs. The entire Final Exam is worth 230 points.

· On the essay questions, your answers should be succinct, should fully address each part of the question, and should demonstrate your knowledge and understanding in a concise but complete answer.

· Remember to always use proper citation when quoting other sources. This means that ANY borrowed material (even a short phrase) should be placed in quotation marks with the source (URL, author/date/page number) immediately following the end of the passage (the end quote). Changing a few words in a passage does NOT constitute putting it in your own words, and proper citation is still required. Borrowed material should NOT dominate a student’s work; it should only be used sparingly to support the student’s thoughts, ideas, and Final Examples. Heavy usage of borrowed material (even if properly cited) can jeopardize the points for that question. Uncited material can jeopardize a passing grade on the Final Exam. As a part of our commitment to academic integrity, your work may be submitted to turnitin.com, an online plagiarism-checking service. So please be VERY mindful of proper citation.
